Lithuanian shoppers use five times less single-use plastic bags

Lithuanian shoppers are using five times less single-use plastic bags when shopping – retailer Iki informed one week after the introduction of a new law, according to which customers have to pay for plastic bag use. From 1 July, the use of free single-use plastic bags is banned, with the exception of lightweight plastic bags for meat and fish products. Most retailers introduced a charge of 1 cent for single-use plastic bags.
